THURSDAY AESTHETICS: Ancient Ruins

I love to look at ancient ruins and envision the energy that coursed their hallowed halls. My imagination runs wild when I stare long enough at a picture... and I begin to see people and lives. I guess that's why I write about this time. I will get there one day. I'll step  bare feet on the sandy soil, take it into my hands and listen to the whispers of 3,000 years. But, until then, I always have the following pictures. Enjoy.

What sort of things inspire you to do what you do? Which picture above is your favorite?
